Sony looks to sprinkle some paranoia in Europe with a Salt TV series

For those unfamiliar with the film, here’s the gist: As Evelyn Salt, Jolie evades all forms of law enforcement after doing a great at-home dye job and milking a spider for its venom. She proves to be the most proficient of covert operatives, merging the grueling training received from Mother Russia with an old-fashioned American can-do spirit, sort of like Natasha Romanova after the Avengers had gotten a hold of her. It’s never made exactly clear where Salt’s loyalties lie, but she offers to kill a bunch of Russian spies by film’s end, so all destruction of churches and buildings in the nation’s capital is forgiven.

Salt received generally favorable reviews and netted almost $300 million at the box office; Sony’s currently pitching the adaptation at the European Film Market, with one executive telling ScreenDaily that the goal is to “bring it to Europe in a completely different way.” There’s currently no word on casting, but Jolie was once in talks to reprise the role when a sequel loomed way back in 2011. Salt is the latest Jolie-led action film to be considered for adaptation, as Eyeworks USA and New Regency announced plans for a Mr. & Mrs. Smith-inspired game show last year.
